International scientific board

The International Scientific Advisory Board of the IPST was established in March 2021 with the aim of strengthening the Institute’s cooperation with the leading names in global theoretical thought in the fields of philosophy and social theory. Since the Institute has often faced political pressures during its history (turbulent for a scientific institution), influential world thinkers have repeatedly supported the efforts in protecting institutional autonomy and freedom of the IPST through petitions, appeals and open letters. The international scientific board has an advisory function and through its activities secures global relevance and visibility of the Institute, and additionally positions the IPST as an internationally recognized and influential institution in the field of social theory and engaged thought. The work of the International Advisory Scientific Committee is coordinated by Petar Bojanić in the capacity of a delegated representative of the Scientific Board of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory.
